Hayden said if the NHS had agreed to freeze his eggs then he would have waited until he was older and in a steady relationship before having a child.

He said that he will ensure he stays single during the child's formative years in order to keep matters as simple as possible.

He said: 'I am worried about how I will look and what people will think and say about me.

'There are a lot of small-minded people out there.'

The first man in the world to become pregnant was Thomas Beatie, from Arizona, who gave birth to three children after having a sex change

The first man in the world to become pregnant was Thomas Beatie, from Arizona, who gave birth to three children after having a sex change.

Mr Beatie was born as a woman, Tracy Lagondino, in Hawaii in 1974, but said he always felt like he wanted to be a man.

When he was in his twenties began having testosterone injections, giving him facial hair, a lower voice and altering his sexual organs.

In 2002 he had a mastectomy and legally became a man - but he chose to keep his vagina, uterus and other female sexual organs so the couple could have children, as his wife had had a hysterectomy.

INCONCEIVABLE? HOW TRANSGENDER MEN CAN CONCEIVE

Miracle of life: Transgender man Thomas Beatie has given birth to three children. Transgender men like Beatie can conceive if they leave their ovaries and uterus in tact

Transgender men do have the capability to become pregnant themselves if they keep their uterus and ovaries in tact.

One such transgender man who decided to get pregnant was Thomas Beatie, of Arizona.

Beatie decided to get pregnant in 2008, after his then-wife was deemed infertile.

Beatie was born as a woman, Tracy Lagondino, in Hawaii in 1974 but began taking testosterone to become a man in his twenties.

In 2002, he legally transitioned into a man by undergoing a mastectomy but kept his vagina and uterus in tact for the possibility of having children in the future.

When he and his wife were ready, Beatie went off testosterone and conceived using a sperm donation.

The couple went on to have three children together: 7-year-old Susan Juliette Beatie, 8-year-old Austin Alexander Beatie and 9-year-old Jason James Beatie.

Beatie and his wife announced they were getting divorced in 2012.

'I have a very stable male gender identity. I see pregnancy as a process, and it doesn't define who I am. It's not a male or female desire to want to have a child - it's a human desire... I'm a person, and I have the right to have my own biological child,' Beatie said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
